Welcome to United Mission to Develop Nepal
United Mission to Develop Nepal is a non-religious, non-political, non-governmental, non-for-profit organization (NGO) made up of, educationalists, social activists and other professionals within the field of development.United Mission to Develop Nepal was founded on the dream that brave and generous volunteers from across all backgrounds from Nepal and abroad could work together to bring about genuine, sustainable change for Nepali communities.
During decade long civil war beginning in 1995, Nepal’s fragile economy was shattered. Already poor families now had even bleaker opportunities for a decent livelihood. Children and women became increasingly vulnerable to abuse, exploitation, family separation, recruitment for conflict-related purposes and illegal detention. This merely compounded the issues associated with Nepal’s long history of caste discrimination and social marginalization, which causes immense disparities within society.
At the height of the conflict in 2009 we gathered a team of Nepalese development workers including social activists and volunteers because we believed we could combat the prevalent shortages in education, healthcare and women’s rights in Nepal more efficiently than the existing international organizations. More recently, our work has taken on a new important dimension following the devastation of the 2015 earthquake, and we have since doubled our efforts to sustain and increase our humanitarian projects.
UMD-Nepal prides itself on empowering the most marginalized communities of Nepal mainly in Rukum District. Since 2009 in coordination with local and international members we have organized volunteering opportunity for volunteers for volunteering in Nepal.
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower marginalized communities, with a focus on women, youth and children, through enhanced educational programs and community training to promote equality, economic well-being and basic human rights. For this we mobilize all our national and international volunteers who joins UMD-Nepal to volunteer in Nepal.
Experience in the field dictates that an inclusive and integrated approach to development is conducive to positive sustainable long-term change. Our organization prides itself on having a dedicated full-time team, ensuring that communities receive the follow-up support required to transform short-term projects into long-term benefits. We don’t leave until we can see successful results in in the communities in which we operate.
